Grading Policies and Procedures

ABC
Students will be receiving letter grades (A, B, C, D, and E) for every subject.

Grading Factors
The county has also instituted a universal list of grading factors. The entire county will be using the same grading factors in every grade. Attached is a break down of all of the grading factors in all major subjects. In addition to the counties grading factors the second grade team is working very closely to ensure that we are grading similar assignments.

Classwork
Thirty-five percent of each subject’s grade is classwork. Classwork grades will be based on a three point rubric. A copy of the rubric was sent home. An additional rubric is linked below. Most work that is not completed in class may be completed as homework. If it is submitted the next day the student will not loose any points. However, the students will loose one point for every day afterwards, and work will not be submitted three days after the original due date.

Behavior
Students will begin every day with 5 points for their behavior grade. Students may loose or earn points each day depending on the choices they make in regards to the class rules and procedures. At the end of each week the students points will be averaged together to earn a grade for the week.

Work Habits

Grades for work habits will be based on all the work that students complete, including homework. Grades will also be based on the student’s classroom attitude towards completing their work. If students jump right into their work and work hard they will be graded highly. If a student must be reminded to refocus frequently they will receive a low grade.
